A glance at these colorful turtles may not immediately bring geometry to mind, but it would be difficult to find a manipulative better suited to illustrating complex geometric concepts than Reptangles.

With 80 puzzles included, your child will gain hands-on experience with all of these concepts and more. Even a child you wouldn’t ordinarily consider ready for geometry will spend hours with Reptangles reconstructing the various models and reconfiguring the turtles with all the benefits of a jigsaw puzzle and the fun of building a 3D model.

A cross between a tightrope and a trampoline, the Gibbon Funline Slackline is an amazing tool for homeschoolers. With a very easy set-up process your children will soon be engaged in healthy outdoor activity, learning to control their body. It is a well-established fact that children need to work their body in order to get the best use of their brain. This used to be a challenge to homeschoolers, but not anymore. Cheaper than a trampoline, the Gibbon Funline Slackline offers a more rigorous workout with its need for careful balance. At the same time, a Gibbon Funline Slackline begs to be used, and your child’s creative abilities will flourish as he attempts all sorts of feats. So what do you think?
Testing the Gibbon Funline was indeed a lot of fun. What isn’t shown in the video is all the people standing just outside the frame, watching, commenting, and offering tips.
It required a bit more skill than some of our testers expected. So much for the cartwheels they’d planned on!
Not everyone had seen the pros before they tried out the Funline. Now they claim that if they’d only known what we were looking for, they could have done it!
“Perfect for family reunions, church retreats, homeschool groups or anywhere a crowd gathers. Consisting of only two parts, the Gibbon Funline Slackline is super easy to set up and can be quickly rigged between two trees or sturdy posts. The integrated ratchet lets you easily set the tension just right; keep it loose for lots of bounce or tighten it up some for more stability…” Buy Your Funline Now!
Foam swords? Really? We were skeptical too, until we saw them in use. Mashoongas are amazing foam sabers built around sturdy polycarbonate core tubes that are both lightweight and flexible. Not merely a fast-paced high-energy contest of attack and self-defense moves, Mashoonga’s game rules give it structure, differentiating it from mere horseplay. Mashoonga is a sport that will strengthen your child’s tactical skills, their eye-hand coordination, and build their stamina. When the rules are faithfully enforced Mashoonga is a friendly, safe, yet competitive contact game of ancient combat skills.

Behind The Scenes
Talk about funny; shooting this video was absolutely hilarious. Some of us laughed ’til we cried!
Until we replayed the footage, no one could agree who’d won the first few rounds. Daniel did, but only by 1/2 a second.
The interviews were almost as fun as the contest. We now talk about Look of Death around the office.
“Our Mashoonga Sabers Set, surprisingly enough, has been one of our hottest sellers at homeschool conferences. Is this indicative of the stress homeschooling parents feel or the pleasure they anticipate seeing their children off the couch and outside engaged in vigorous play? Or maybe it was because, as one fellow vendor remarked, “I’m tired of getting hit in the knees with a wooden sword…” Buy Mashoonga Now!
